Stop email from getting locked out

Hi everyone,

 

I've written a small program for a business and one of the components of this is it sends out an automatic email at the end of each month to stakeholders.

This runs entirely by itself being a service on the server, but i've noticed the email account I used (@outlook.com) keeps getting locked for security reasons.

Are there any settings I can change to mitigate this or is there a specific email account I should be using?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

James 

  • Use a service that specializes in sending bulk email instead of outlook.com account.

      Hi Vasil, it isn’t bulk though. It is 2 emails at most every month

        Are you sending as the @outlook.com address or spoofing? SPF fails can cause such issues, though generally speaking we don't have much visibility into mail flow for personal accounts.
